•Lithium disilicate ceramics (LDC) pretreated with HF+S showed the highest bond integrity and highest ra.•LDC conditioned with PDT demonstrated the lowest bond values comparable to LDC conditioned with nonthermal plasma.•The predominant failure type was adhesive among all groups. To assess the shear...
